I've been super active blogging la because I'm very free.

Here's a few videos, all of which are about music. Classical piano, Jap song, Chinese song and an orchestrated piece. And their pattern/style/type are those sad sad but at the same time beautiful, listening + watching can stir emotions, at least on mine la

I don't really surf Youtube, watch vids randomly unless I have something in mind.

To watch the videos without my background music interfering, simply click the stop (X) button at the top - right.

Here we go.

This piano piece "Kiss the Rain" is by Yiruma, a famous composer from Korea. I first chanced upon this piece in some random imeem playlist. I used it as my background music. I particularly like the starting of this video (0.06 to 0.18). I liked the way he played super fast at some of the parts.

And also, this music was used during the Sze Chuan Charity Show where QuanYifeng teared. The part where she was reading out a handphone message that a Mom left for her baby, in the end, the mom died and the baby survived. Because she protected her baby from the collapse building and debris with her own body.

Next up, its still a piece composed by Yiruma but not he himself executing the song. The white grand piano and layout of the room are evidence that the one playing is a rich kid and from the comments on Youtube, he is only reaching 20 this September. He did a remix version of "River Flows in You".

"First Love" by Utada Hikaru. Me and my friends were wondering if this is a happy or sad song long time ago and it turned out to be a song with both feelings in it upon understanding the song from the subs. And I like the the background blue lights very much.

I've been trying to sing this song but its too high la, still cannot execute it properly. "Yi Yan Shun Jian" by A Mei and Jam Hsiao.

Another touching song, "To be Loved".

Lastly, an orchestrated piece. Aerith's theme from the game Final Fantasy 7.
